By approaching finances from a place of inner stillness, she teaches how to avoid the common "grasping" mentality.The Effortless Path to Wealth: Rather than choosing difficult, exhausting paths, Elizabeth emphasizes finding ease and flow. She shares how maintaining high energy standards and avoiding resistance can accelerate financial growth and personal peace.The Role of Self-Identity in Financial Abundance: Elizabeth highlights the importance of self-identity in determining financial capacity. By stepping into a "higher version" of ourselves, we can shift our relationship with money and create new opportunities.Moving Beyond Traditional Beliefs: Addressing common money beliefs, Elizabeth guides listeners on bypassing outdated patterns around scarcity and worth. She stresses the importance of holding a vision that transcends the limitations of the "3D world."Empathy and Power in Financial Growth: Elizabeth discusses the need to balance empathy with inner power, especially for social justice advocates.

Embarking on a journey to become a house-call dentist is not about obtaining a specific certification but about gaining hands-on experience and a passion for improving patient lives. The initial stages can be daunting, yet offering simple services such as at-home denture adjustments can significantly enhance patient care. It is crucial for dentists aspiring to provide house calls to recognize the value of continuous learning, even though no single Continuing Education (CE) course will officially qualify them to offer such services. Being a lifelong learner is invaluable, further augmented by mandated CE requirements that ensure professionals stay adept. Upcoming conferences provide fantastic opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals and enrich one's expertise. The recently canceled SCDA conference, now rescheduled for March 2025, represents an excellent chance to engage with groundbreaking topics in hospital, geriatric, and special needs dentistry. Additionally, the National Mobile and Teledentistry Conference in March next year offers unique insights tailored specifically for mobile dental professionals. For those preferring the digital route, online CE courses are a viable, affordable alternative—conveniently accessible from home. Running a successful dental house-call practice requires more than just clinical skills. It's about understanding the business side of this niche and seizing learning opportunities that align with personal and professional growth. This is why the Dental House Call Practice Academy was created, designed to guide aspiring house call dentists through establishing their practice. It encapsulates the knowledge needed to model a fulfilling career in this dynamic field, rooted in a commitment to continuous improvement and patient care excellence.   Free Master Class  Open Enrollment For Dental House Call Practice Academy  Visit me at: ResiDENTAL Movement Website Visit: AccommoDental Visit: Home Smile Care Foundation Let's Get Social: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Produced by: Social Chameleon

In this solo episode, Amy Wheeler delves into the profound relationship between yoga and emotional intelligence, exploring how ancient wisdom and modern techniques can help us navigate our emotions and improve our interactions with others. This episode covers key concepts from the pancha maya model in the Upanisads, Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and Kristin Neff's principles of self-compassion. Amy provides a comprehensive look at emotional intelligence, its benefits, and common misconceptions.Key Concepts and Highlights1. Understanding Emotional Intelligence:Emotional intelligence involves recognizing, understanding, and managing our own emotions and the emotions of others. It encompasses self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills.Emotional intelligence is crucial for personal and professional success, fostering better relationships, decision-making, and overall well-being.2. The Pancha Maya Model and the Vijnanamaya Layer:The pancha maya model from the Upanisads outlines five layers of personality: annamaya (physical body), pranamaya (energy body), manomaya (mental body), vijnanamaya (wisdom body), and anandamaya (bliss body).The vijnanamaya kosha, or wisdom layer, plays a pivotal role in emotional intelligence. It involves higher cognitive functions such as wisdom, perception, and communication style.By cultivating the vijnanamaya kosha through yoga practices, we can enhance our ability to perceive and respond to our emotions wisely and effectively.3. Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC):NVC is a powerful tool for developing emotional intelligence, focusing on empathetic and compassionate communication.The four steps of NVC are:Observation: Clearly and objectively describing what is happening without judgment.Feelings: Identifying and expressing emotions related to the observation.Needs: Recognizing the underlying needs driving the emotions.Request: Making a specific, actionable request to address the unmet needs.4. Kristin Neff's Three Steps to Self-Compassion:Self-compassion is essential for emotional intelligence, allowing us to be kind to ourselves and manage our emotions healthily.The three steps to cultivating self-compassion are:Self-Kindness: Treating oneself with understanding and warmth rather than harsh judgment.Common Humanity: Recognizing that suffering and challenges are a shared human experience.Mindfulness: Maintaining a balanced awareness of our emotions without suppressing or exaggerating them.5. Benefits of Emotional Intelligence:Improved relationships and communication.Enhanced ability to handle stress and conflict.Greater empathy and understanding of others.Better decision-making and problem-solving skills.Increased overall well-being and life satisfaction.6. What Emotional Intelligence Is Not:Emotional intelligence is not about suppressing emotions or avoiding difficult conversations.It is not manipulative or insincere; genuine empathy and honesty are key.Emotional intelligence is not innate; it can be developed and strengthened through practice.Practical Tips and Yoga Practices:Amy shares practical yoga techniques and mindfulness practices to enhance emotional intelligence, such as breathwork, meditation, and reflective journaling.She provides insights into integrating these practices into daily life to cultivate greater self-awareness, empathy, and emotional resilience.Join Amy Wheeler in this enlightening episode as she unpacks the synergy between yoga and emotional intelligence, offering valuable tools and insights for personal growth and harmonious living.Additional Resources with Amy Wheeler:University of Minnesota Therapeutic Yoga SeriesPolyvagal Institute Mighty App7-Week Course on Yoga, Yoga Therapy & Polyvagal TheoryOptimal State Mobile AppOptimal State and Yoga Therapy Hour Patreon·        Monday Night Yoga Therapy Clinic on www.TheOpimtalState.com·        Join us for our Monday night Yoga Therapy Clinics, specially designed to address specific health and wellness topics.

Guest: Shyam Raganathan - Philosopher and Professor at York University of Ethics, Morals, and Political PhilosophySummary: In this enlightening episode of The Yoga Therapy Hour, we are joined by Shyam Raganathan, a distinguished philosopher and teacher of ethics, morals, and political philosophy. Together, we delve into the profound journey of what it means to be a student of yoga and how this path guides us toward becoming sovereign human beings with a deeply ingrained internal compass for our morals and ethics.Key Topics Discussed:·        The Essence of Being a Yoga Student: Shyam explores the foundational aspects of being a dedicated student of yoga, emphasizing the importance of developing an internal moral and ethical compass and to not be influenced by external forces.·        Sovereignty and Internal Compass: The discussion highlights how yoga practice helps us cultivate sovereignty, enabling us to navigate life's challenges with a strong sense of internal guidance that is free to building identities around the painful parts of life that we have experienced.·        Internal and External Forces: Shyam sheds light on the various internal and external forces that influence our decisions to speak up or remain silent during difficult times, and how understanding these forces is crucial for personal growth.·        Interconnectedness of Human Welfare: The conversation emphasizes the collective responsibility we have towards ensuring clean water, healthy food, shelter, and safety for all humans.

He offers insights into breaking free from these patterns to achieve true liberation and sovereignty.·        The Cycle of Oppression: Shyam discusses how the oppressed often adopt the ways or thinking of their oppressors, unconsciously becoming what they claim to fight against. They begin to form an identity around their oppression rather than the goodness and fairness they desire. This critical insight helps listeners understand the importance of breaking this cycle to create a more just and equitable world.·        Call for Peace and Compassion: In the context of the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict, Shyam urges listeners to care deeply for all people, but at the same time he says that the Government of Israel has reacted disproportionately to the threat, and it is time to stop the violence. Shyam's Media Handles:www.yogaphilosophy.comIG: shyamraganathanIG: yogaphilosophy_comAdditional Resources with Amy Wheeler:University of Minnesota Therapeutic Yoga SeriesPolyvagal Institute Mighty App7-Week Course on Yoga, Yoga Therapy & Polyvagal TheoryOptimal State Mobile AppNew Moon and Full Moon Meditations with Optimal State: Email Welcome@TheOptimalState.com for details on June, July, and August 2024 sessionsOptimal State and Yoga Therapy Hour Patreon·        Monday Night Yoga Therapy Clinic: https://theoptimalstate.com/monday-yoga-therapy-clinic/·        Join us for our Monday night Yoga Therapy Clinics, specially designed to address specific health and wellness topics.

Could Ohio's real estate market be on the verge of a significant shift? That's the question Jim and the office goddess Laura wrestle with in a candid discussion on the latest from the home inspector board meetings. As we peel back the curtain, we examine the contentious proposal for additional Continuing Education (CE) credit for in-person classes and dissect why some board members, including ourselves, are raising eyebrows. The meat of the discussion, however, centers on the ethical quagmire of sharing home inspection reports with non-clients, a practice that could be in for a rude awakening under new licensing laws.Amidst the routine yet critical rule revisions and CE chatter, the podcast takes a sharp turn into the legal labyrinth of home inspection reports. Breaking down the implications for professional responsibility and client confidentiality, we shine a spotlight on why home inspectors are up in arms about their work being passed around like a hot potato. Listen as Laura brings her characteristic insight to the ramifications of such practices, not just for inspectors but for the unsuspecting buyer B who might be getting more than they bargained for. This episode isn't just a mere discussion; it's a call to attention for anyone with a stake in Ohio's real estate game.Support the showTo learn more about Habitation Investigation, the Two-time Winner of the Best Home Inspection Company in the Midwest visit Home Inspection Columbus Ohio - Habitation Investigation (homeinspectionsinohio.com) Schedule online if you need a home inspection or related services.

Between interest rates, low inventory, low transaction volume and the huge changes to compensation, these are turbulent times. There's a lot of downward pressure on the agent, and there's only one way to combat it. Raising our average sales price and breaking into higher price points.   Contrary to popular belief, anyone can break into luxury. You don't need to drive an exotic car, live in a mansion or have decades in real estate.   How do we define a luxury listing? What steps can we take to get into this niche and why is it critical to growth in this market?   In this episode, I'm joined by the luxury real estate guru, Michael LaFido. He shares simple steps you can take to become a high-end or luxury listing agent.   When you build a book of business, and you have a good reputation, you don't want to be lax in the way you look, but you don't have to dress to the nines if that's not you. -Michael LaFido    Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -Every market has high end or luxury listings  We often define luxury by a specific price point, but does it differ from state to state and city to city?   -Stay profitable in a down market  When transaction counts go down, how can agents maintain or increase their earnings?   -What the future holds for agents With pivotal legal rulings and changes at NAR, how can agents safeguard themselves from disruption?   Guest Bio    Michael LaFido is a real estate consultant, top-producing Realtor and author of “Luxury Listing Specialist”, “Outside The Box”, and “Marketing Luxury”. He is also the founder of the Marketing Luxury Group. Michael has created the nationally recognized luxury designation for real estate agents which is known as Luxury Listing Specialist (LUXE). This designation establishes an in-depth and detailed set of standards for agents that represent luxury homes and is currently offered for Continuing Education (CE) for real estate agents in Texas and Georgia. The training is based on the same principles Michael outlines in his book, “Luxury Listing Specialist” that he teaches to agents across the world.

From an average home to an ultra-luxury mansion, there are 5 buckets of listings agents can go after. For many of us, the idea of breaking into the luxury niche is intimidating as hell. Agents will wait years to take a higher price point listing, or worse - talk themselves out of opportunities because they don't think they can go for high net worth sellers. Breaking into luxury is a lot easier than we think. You don't have to live in a fancy zip code to become an authority in that niche. You don't have to live in a mansion, drive a Maserati or even be with a luxury brokerage.    We tend to overthink the luxury niche, but there's a lot of opportunities for the taking right in front of us. Ultimately, overthinking keeps us on the bench and away from the best opportunities.    How do we actually define a luxury property - is it anything that's a $1 million up? What steps can we take to go after luxury? Real estate agent, leader and luxury specialist, Michael La Fido shares how to break through the mindset barriers to selling luxury real estate.    Quotes    Generalists get paid, specialists get wealthy. -Michael LaFido   There's no easy button to break into luxury, but when agents continue to grow their knowledge, their confidence will grow. -Michael LaFido   Key Points     How to succeed from day 1 It's hard enough to get started and successful in real estate, even when you're full time from the jump. What really stands out about Michael is that he started part-time and did really well. Because he had the base income from his day job, he could put extra money towards coaching and marketing, which gave him a huge advantage.  Defining luxury  Many people think a luxury property is anything from $1 million up, but markets are so vastly different that what's considered luxury won't be the same. Luxury isn't just in the big pockets and big cities - it's all over the US. Michael's definition of luxury is a home that's 3x the average sale price, and then there's uber-luxury which is a home that's 10x the average sales price.    How to get your first luxury listing  In luxury listings, trust counts a lot more than experience. For upper price points sellers, their decisions will often be based on a referral. Getting more luxury listings is as simple as getting into that circle of trust and building solid relationships.    Guest Info   Michael LaFido is a real estate consultant and top-producing Realtor with over twenty years of experience in the real estate industry.

Earning a Cisco certification is no easy task. Preparing for exams, in and of itself, is an investment — the cost of study materials, training, and courses, not to mention the time that candidates devote to building their skills and knowledge — all comes to fruition the moment when they pass the exam, become certified, and reach the next level in their IT career. But all of that can (somewhat) quickly fade as their recertification deadline approaches. That open window of three years to recertify suddenly begins to close. In retrospect, the window was much smaller than they had anticipated. And until recently, the only way to recertify was via testing. When Cisco revamped its certification portfolio, new changes to its recertification policy arrived as well. Among several new options to recertify aside from taking exams, the updated policy extends the Cisco Continuing Education Program to certified individuals across all certification levels; previously, an option available solely at the Expert level. Continuing Education (CE) activities are simply learning activities recognized by Cisco to meet the rigor and standard that demonstrate a level of skill, or proficiency. And while accruing CE credits via training and completing courses is a valid approach to recertification, continuous learning is likely, or rather ideally, innate to the IT professional who understands that keeping their skills and knowledge current amid the rapidly changing landscape of IT is critical for their success.

SHOW NOTES: Chapter 1: CPR was introduced in the 1960s. At the time, research at John Hopkins was being conducted on pigs in ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia who required defibrillation.  It was noted that when pushing defibrillation paddles against the chest wall, the arterial pressure of the subjects increased. It was concluded that with compression, pulsatile flow was generated. This was essentially the first iteration of closed chest CPR. Over the next 50 years or so, clinicians have been looking for better ways to improve survival outcomes. Key factors include early identification, early CPR, along with obtaining resources and assistance to improve ventilation, perfusion, and defibrillation. Poor predictors of survival for cardiac arrest include CPR for greater than 30 minutes and individuals with coronary artery blockage. With the integration of ECMO, it was found that by bypassing the heart and lungs and essentially taking on their functions, outcomes improved. Dr. Yannopoulos reiterates that CPR for greater than 30 minutes results in poor outcomes, thereby creating a goal to both normalize pressures during this time while also fixing the offending cause, such as a coronary artery occlusion.  Around 2015, in the Minnesota metro area, visionary EMS directors implemented an alternative option: If a patient fails three shocks, with ongoing CPR, the patient was transferred to a tertiary care facility with ECMO cannulation capabilities. Once on ECMO, these patients were transferred to the University of MN where they underwent PCI to evaluate for reversible causes such as occluded coronary vessels, PE, etc. Outcomes of this therapy showed 30-40% patient survival, which is a game changing result, thus the need for a randomized control trial, the ARREST Trial. Chapter 2: The ARREST Trial studied a group of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in ventricular fibrillation, refractory to defibrillation and initial ACLS treatment. This was a randomized control trial where one group was randomized to an ECMO intervention arm, versus a standard ACLS therapy arm. It was a phase 2, single center, open-label, adaptive, safety and efficacy randomized clinical trial.  Specific subject criteria included adults aged 18-75 with OHCA, refractory ventricular fibrillation, with no return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after three shocks, with an automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation device or LUCAS device and estimated transfer time shorter than 30 minutes. The primary outcome of the trial was survival to hospital discharge. Secondary outcomes included safety, survival and functional assessment at hospital discharge, at 3 months and 6 months after discharge. Results of the ACLS arm showed a 7% survivability, and zero at both three and six months, while the ECMO arm fared better with a 43% survivability. After enrolling 30 patients, the study was terminated at the first pre-planned interim analysis by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute after a unanimous recommendation from the Data Safety Monitoring Board, because the posterior probability of ECMO superiority exceeded the prespecified monitoring boundary. Cumulative 6-month survival was significantly better in the early ECMO group compared to the standard ACLS group. No unanticipated serious adverse events were observed. Conclusion: early ECMO-facilitated resuscitation for patients with OHCA and refractory ventricular fibrillation, significantly improved survival to hospital discharge compared with standard ACLS treatment. Chapter 3:  The Minnesota Mobile Resuscitation Consortium or MMRC, which was the first program to serve an entire metropolitan area in order to rapidly deliver extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-facilitated resuscitation to patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia (VF/VT) out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This was an observational cohort study that analyzed consecutive patients prospectively enrolled in the MMRC's ECMO-facilitated resuscitation program. Entry criteria were identical to the ARREST Trial, adults 18-75 with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in VF or CT with no return of spontaneous circulation post 3 shocks, use of a LUCAS or automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation device, and an estimated transfer time of less 30 minutes. The primary endpoint was functionally favorable survival to hospital discharge with Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) 1 or 2. CPC 1 results in good cerebral performance: conscious, alert, able to work, that might have some mild neuro or psych deficits. CPC 2 results in moderate cerebral disability; conscious, sufficient cerebral function for independent activities of daily living (ADLS). Secondary endpoints included 3-month functionally favorable survival. Between the period of December 1, 2019 and April 1, 2020, 63 consecutive patients were transported, and of these 58 were treated by the mobile ECMO service. Post EMCO treatment 25 of the 58 or 43% were both discharged from the hospital and alive at 3 months with CPC 1 or 2. This first, community-wide ECMO-facilitated resuscitation program in the US demonstrated 100% successful cannulation, 43% functionally favorable survival rates at hospital discharge and 3 months. Chapter 4:  As the research continues, reaching 25-30% positive outcomes would be adequate to start a viable program. Dr. Yannopoulos speculates that with overall system improvement and refined protocols, that number can be as high as 70-80%, which is an incredible number. The future of ECPR will require a combined effort of the healthcare systems, policy makers, administrators, and communities. With a successful program in the urban and suburban areas, future research can hopefully expand access to more rural populations. Dr. Yannopoulos emphasizes that this is not a hospitalized based program, it relies on the EMS system, and those providers, especially medics, are key to the success of the program. At the time of this interview, the mobile ECMO program was on hold due to COVID, but currently the mobile ECMO program has a pending restart date of March 1st. Thanks for listening.

In this podcast interview, Dr. Tess Neal provides an overview of her academic journey since completing her B.A. at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln through her Ph.D. program at the University of Alabama to her current position as Assistant Professor of Psychology in Arizona State University's School of Social and Behavioral Sciences. Dr. Neal is a licensed psychologist, and she reveals the choices she made when selecting a master's and doctorate school and program while providing copious advice for those interested in seeking graduate degrees in psychology. Dr. Neal graduated with her Ph.D. in clinical psychology and has always had an interest in law and forensic psychology. Much of her early work focused on expert bias in the legal system, credibility, and juror perceptions. As a result of her persistence and dedication, she has become an award-winning teacher, scholar, and mentor. Dr. Neal was named a “Rising Star” by the Association for Psychological Science (APS) for her early career research on judgment, decision-making, and expert bias. The APS “Rising Star” designation is given to those whose innovative research has “already advanced the field and signals great potential for their continued contributions.” Recently, Dr. Neal was recognized for her long-standing commitment as a mentor as she received the ASU Outstanding Faculty Mentor Award (Outstanding Master's Mentor). As the Director of ASU's Clinical and Legal Judgment Lab, Dr. Neal works with students and other scholars to examine how human judgment intersects with psychology, law, and other sciences to better understand how people make decisions. From studying how to keep “junk science” out of the courtroom to studying the biases of forensic experts, Dr. Neal hopes her interdisciplinary research blending psychology, law, and ethics continues to improve the criminal justice system. She plans to continue studying the judgments, perceptions, and misperceptions of psychologists and other experts in the legal system as these have meaningful impacts on the real world.

Let’s talk about dental implant continuing education for the general dentist! I’m often asked what the best courses are for a general dentist to learn implantology. The short answer is to take all of the courses you can, but the longer answer depends on other things including what you already know, your current abilities, and the current state of your practice. The rules of the marketplace have fundamentally shifted, and the gatekeepers aren’t as powerful as they used to be. Now, anyone can break into implantology if it’s something they want enough. And now that this shift has happened, the biggest obstacle to your success is in your head. It’s time to get past that and write your own story! Now let’s get into specific. My recommendation for a general dentist getting into implantology is to take multiple paths over a long period of time. A specific suggestion that I highly recommend on the business side is my own Dental Implant MBA program. You’ll learn how to develop, market, and master your implant practice through this series of courses. (Also, check out my mini-course on dental implant funnel marketing.) If you’re not sure whether implant dentistry is something you’re interested in, try a short weekend course. I recommend Glidewell Dental’s Restorative Driven Implant Solutions Utilizing the Latest Technology course, or Implant Dentistry 101 from Implant Direct. Both of these are great introductory courses for implantology. Once you’re ready for a comprehensive course with implant training, I recommend Implant Pathway. This takes a big amount of material and delivers it within a shorter, more consumable package. I believe it’s the best implant training that there is for beginners! For a longer, in-depth course and credentialing with the AAID, I highly recommend a MaxiCourse. If you want something that’s all online, look into DentalXP's Online Implant Fellowship Program. It’s a challenging, rigorous course that will leave you top-level implantology knowledge. That’s a lot of suggestions, and there are a lot more courses. I hope this episode has helped give you a place to start! If you need advice or opinions on these or other courses, please feel free to reach out to me directly.   In This Episode: [00:13] - Philip welcomes listeners back to the show, and explains that this episode will be about dental implant continuing education for the general dentist. [01:03] - We hear about the importance of creating a different story if what you’re doing now isn’t working. [01:55] - The rules have fundamentally shifted in a way that lets anyone break into implantology, Philip explains. [03:01] - Philip shares an inspirational story, and explains how it applies to the dental industry. [04:37] - We get into CE courses for implantology for the general dentist, with Philip offering his recommendations. [05:51] - Philip offers two recommendations for short courses to figure out whether implant dentistry is right for you: Restorative Driven Implant Solutions Utilizing the Latest Technology or Implant Dentistry 101. [06:27] - We hear Philip’s recommendation for the next course once you decide that implant dentistry is something you want to pursue: Implant Pathway. [07:27] - Philip recommends the AAID MaxiCourse for a longer, more in-depth course into dental implantology. [08:21] - For a comprehensive, all-online course, try the Online Implant Fellowship Program from DentalXP. [09:09] - There are tons of other courses that there isn’t time to dig into, Philip explains. The ones he has recommended, though, are the basics that will get you started.   Links and Resources: Hernán Cortés Dental Implant MBA Restorative Driven Implant Solutions Utilizing the Latest Technology from Glidewell Dental Implant Dentistry 101 from Implant Direct Implant Pathway AAID AAID MaxiCourse DentalXP's Online Implant Fellowship Program

We sit down with Andres Capra and follow his journey to his career as a Tactical Paramedic. This is a relatively new field where he works as an Austin EMS Paramedic and also trains with Austin PD SWAT/ Travis County Sheriff SWAT teams. His pathway includes becoming a Marine right out of high school, digging ditches for electricians, having his own company building decks and framing houses, and being a college student and a bartender.   He originally was interested in becoming a firefighter, but realized he was more interested in the medical side, because that's where the majority of calls happened. Andres explains how he takes lessons learned in one area of work and uses them to help in other areas. We rated this explicit due to the mature and sometimes graphic nature of emergency situations.

Our latest guest, Dawn Wehking, loves the shit out of dentistry.  Plain and simple.  Check out Dawn's practice at www.DentistLafayette.com When you think of your dentist, you probably don't think about someone who loves to build and create. Dr. Dawn Wehking is a born builder. She loves to build relationships and she loves hands-on work that allows her to build something both structurally sound as well as beautiful. So then it might not surprise you that Dr. Wehking didn't grow up wanting to be a dentist. Initially she wanted to own a restaurant because she wanted to build a sense of community and foster relationships with her patrons. But she quickly realized running a local hotspot wouldn't satisfy her need for creativity and hands-on work. What she needed was a way to combine her structural and artistic flair with her passion for building relationships and a sense of community. That's when dentistry became her clear career choice. When you entrust your dental care to Dr. Wehking, you'll see she's creating and building something quite special at Complete Family and Aesthetic Dentistry. She's building a relationship with you so she understands you and your needs. She's building a solid team who provides you the best possible care. She's creating a practice that's a committed part of the Lafayette community. And she's creating beautiful, healthy smiles. Dr. Wehking also strongly believes in building her knowledge through Continuing Education (CE). She completes over 200 hours CE per year and throughout her career she's totaled over 1200 hours. Recently Dr. Wehking was awarded Fellow status with the Academy of General Dentistry.  She finished the Spear Education curriculum, a place where great dentists go to learn how to be exceptional dentists.  She now serves as visiting faculty at Spear Education. In addition, Dr. Wehking speaks on behalf of the American Dental Association at dental schools across the country, teaching dental students about life after dental school. While it might sound nerdy, Dr. Wehking's greatest hobby is dentistry. Even when she's away from the office, Dr Wehking is building. You see, Dr. Wehking is much more than just a dentist. She's a smile architect. (Wondering about the Tooth Fairy's house in the Complete Family and Aesthetic Dentistry office? Well, Dr. Wehking built that, too.)
